Paulette's walk in the Foret de Soignes on June 18th 2010



Looking at these photographs, you would never believe that we walked fast and regularly for 2 hours in the Foret de Soignes. And yet…!!! The story is that the scheduled walk in Beersel was cancelled, but there was a lot of last minute interest in a walk, so we met up near the Barbizonso and I invited all these lovely ladies to my house for a coffee and some niceties. They really deserve it but as it was an invitation on the spur of the moment, everybody had to give a hand. I had forgotten my camera…again, so I asked my husband Craig to play the role of photographer for us. We laughed a lot as Lydia first showed us how to measure a foot and soon had everyone in contorsions trying to put their foot on their forearm! Then she tried to prove that men were unable to do an exercise involving balance that she had tried with her friends. Craig was so relieved to pass the test….. So the mood was very jolly but we did really walk, you know, we walked for 2 hours at a good pace and after the traditional “photo de famille” everybody went away satisfied with their day.
